Government looks to reset balance with Caymanian Protection Act
The coalition government says it is on track to bring back legislation to “protect our way of life” and to reset the balance between expats and Caymanians.
That could mean a return to the Caymanian Protection Law, which was originally introduced in 1971 and regulated who could live and work in the Cayman Islands. It also ensured that people had to meet certain criteria – such as being born in Cayman to Caymanian parents or having long-term ties to the islands – to be officially recognised as Caymanian.
